Never Enough Time

    It would seem rational that it would be easier to motivate into an after work workout during the summer when the sun is shining. Instead, I feel like I am always in a race with the sun to see how much I can accomplish in the way of home improvements, yard work, or general outdoor chores before darkness falls. Then, I stagger into the house, at 8:30 or later, tired from work, tired from chores, and still facing the knowledge that I need to get in a workout. I tell myself I need to be getting up early so I can get in a good morning training session. But that falls by the wayside since I stay up too late every night, trying to eke out as many minutes as I can from every day. As always, never enough time in the day. Never. So, once again, here it is nearly 8:30, I feel raggedly tired, and yet am sitting here in cycling shorts, planning on getting in a spin and some legwork. I need be consistent with the rehab on the knee, and continue building strength and flexibility. Yes, I will likely be working out until 10:00 or so, as usual. So, why am I wasting time writing? Procrastination, plain and simple. I'm tired, have been on my feet all day, and it feels damned good to sit. I have rejuvenated myself a bit with some strong, black, iced tea. Time to get at it. No rest for the weary.
